I saw a thread like this on another message board and thought I'd give you guys a chance to vent too. As long as we don't start hurting one another I think some venting can be healthy every once in a while.

My biggest pet peeve is people parking in handicap spots without a permit. I was in a wheel chair for six weeks after one of my surgeries so I know exactly what it is like. During that six weeks we had a concert at the school I was going to and because somebody was too lazy to walk and leave the handicap space for someone who really was, we ended up parking two blocks away. It's a good thing I was only in grade school and had someone to push me. Otherwise, I don't know if my arms would have made it. Whenever I see somebody parked in one without a permit, I so want to stand there until they come out and confront them about how inconsiderate it is. Anyway, as you guys can see, I'm very passionate about this one so I'll quit now before I get any more worked up than I am right now.

My others are-
* People coming in my room when the door is closed and it's obvious I want to be alone.

* People who think the addicted are just people who are no good. I've never been addicted to drugs but through my other addiction, I know that it is a sickness and not something that someone deliberately chooses.

Mine is people pulling out in front of me [mad2]

and then they go real slow.....when there was no one coming for miles behind me.

My car is what my friends call a rollin bible (bumber stickers), so I must not forget my witness when these jerks are right in front of me and I am slammin on my brakes

I have lots of pet peeves.

1. People interrupting me or ignoring me.
2. People talking during movies.
3. People who always expect you to do what they want to do but never want to do what someone else wants to do.
4. Hippies.
5. TV Soaps giving teenagers the wrong idea about love and relationships.
6. Magazines giving teenagers the wrong idea about beauty.
7. Eminem.
8. Christians who say I'm not acting like a Christian for wearing all black and liking heavy metal music. It's what's inside that counts, not how you dress, and sure, some of the lyrics may be bad, but the music itself there's nothing wrong with.
9. Australians using American sayings or words, like "gas" instead of "petrol" or pronouncing lieutenant as "lootenant" instead of "leftenant". We are our OWN country, we do not need to follow America.
10. People who won't respect other peoples opinions.

Okay I think I'll stop at ten, or I'll be here forever. As you can probably guess, I get annoyed very easily and it is hard not to lash out at times.

My pet peeves include those stupid pop up windows that are peddling their goods, like cameras, family tree and mortgage rates. And of course I hate Spam in my email. Everything from viagra to human growth hormones. I block it with my program but it comes back by these creeps by adding a "space" in the titles message or adding periods to their product. EG is V.I.A.G.R.A.
Then at the bottom of every spam email is a clickable phrase. " click here to be removed from our mailing list". So like a fool I would click there but all that did was to verify to the spammers that my email address was alive and well. Then the next day I get twice as many spam emails.
And I can't stand people driving slow in the fast lane. They think "ah, 2 lanes, I'll take this one" not realizing that one is for driving slow and the other for driving faster.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
